High Environmental Value (HVE)

Four performance levels

The High Environmental Value (HVE) classification is an official certification overseen by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food . It follows a voluntary process undertaken by winegrowers and wine estates. When awarded, it demonstrates a genuine commitment to environmental performance . This is measured at several levels:

  • contribution to the biodiversity of the vineyard;
  • reasoned intervention in phytosanitary treatments;
  • rational control of fertilization;
  • economical management of water resources.

Two logos

Two logos distinguish the certified domains:

The " High Environmental Value " logo identifies the farms themselves when they are committed globally and at all levels of production to the approach.

The label " From a High Environmental Value farm " identifies raw or processed products from farms certified as High Environmental Value (HVE).
